The magicians burned by the black flames howled and rolled on the ground, but the sand and mud they encountered only served as fuel for combustion.
Ash put his hands in the pockets of his dark red windbreaker, walked past the tragically dead corpses, and walked out of the billowing smoke.
Igulla took out the perfume bottle in his skirt and sprayed it on his waist and back of the neck to dispel the strong smell of tar. Gwen followed him, handing him eye drops and a hot towel, because just now Igulla had used a powerful
A wide range of mental shocks, in addition to consuming magic power, also severely compress the optic nerve. If possible, timely care of the eyes is required.
Harvey and Alice walked out of the black smoke hand in hand, as if they were attending a banquet together. However, Alice was no longer in her normal form at this time, but in a rotten and dead state. Countless flies and maggots built Alice's new skin, exuding ink.
The green smell of decay. This is the new miracle 'breath of death' developed by necromancers. It does not require close contact. As long as you gaze at Alice's death, it can make the viewer fall into madness, fear, shock, etc.
Various negative states, and the person will forget to breathe. If the viewer does not switch his breathing to manual mode in time, he may even suffocate to death.
Chikara, who was walking at the back, restrained the flames. Except for his pants, almost all the orc's clothes were burned to the ground. The duel may be controversial.
But if Chikara ranks first in group attack, I'm afraid no one would have any objection. His black flame of destruction penetrated all obstacles along the way.
"There is no trap."
Ash stepped into the ancient tunnel made of masonry. His Heart Sword Magic Spirit swept across the fifty-meter area in front of him, bursting out with an extremely bright and penetrating warm white light. This move did very little damage, but had a strong interference effect.
, enough to trigger most miracle traps.
This is not a miracle, it is simply a special application of the Heart Sword Art Spirit. After playing the Heart Sword Art Spirit for so long, Ash has been able to develop feelings over time and more or less unlocked some new postures.
"Other than a Holy Domain magician, who else can get through here?" Igula said: "Since he is a Holy Domain magician, what's the point of traps?"
Behind them is the hexagonal bunker built by the Four Pillars of God at the entrance of the Silent Spiral. Although Ash and the others really want to take the infiltration route, the target of the six of them is too big. The Four Pillars of God also have a miracle of detection against the Holy Domain magicians.
It was discovered not long after entering the giant vine city.
But luck was finally on their side this time - while Ash was determined to attack the giant vine city, the troops of the Qinri Alliance finally arrived at the Silent Spiral and launched a tentative attack.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Four Pillar Divine Sect was attracted by the Qinri Alliance and most of the troops gathered on the city wall, Yaxiu and others cut through the mess quickly. With the configuration of their four holy domain magicians, they directly killed half of the camp.
-Faced with four magicians who ignored all harm, the Four Pillar Gods were like butter on a hot knife, melting in an instant.
Before the Bishop of the Four Pillars God arrived, they had already captured the hexagonal bunker guarding the Silent Spiral. This time, they broke into the headquarters of the Four Pillar Gods at the speed of life and death. No one dared to hold back, opening up the way forward with a gorgeous death and a cruel miracle.
Blast through the door.
Ash pointed back, and the Heart Sword drew hundreds of sharp spatial ink marks at the entrance of the tunnel. Even black smoke would be cut through. "Even a Holy Domain magician will spend a lot of money to dispel this trap.
Time." He said: "Don't worry about the pursuit from behind for the time being."
He used the secret poison of the Lost Color Dream to transform the magic power of the sword. In addition, he is currently using the Four-winged Heart Sword and the Four-winged Sword Mark. The four-winged magic power plus the four-winged magic spirit are enough to advance this miracle of the Heart Pen to
Legend level!
There were shouts of death and curses coming from behind, but no one dared to cross those ink marks.
As Ash and the others turned along the spiral passage, the noise on the ground gradually faded into a distant illusion.
As its name suggests, the Silent Spiral is a strange passage that spirals downwards. The passage is made of square stone bricks. The mushroom green grass seeping out from the edges of the bricks has fluorescent substances. When walking in it, the visibility will not be affected.
Influence.
When the boots stepped crisply on the stone slabs, the lingering sound echoed along the passage, and coupled with the dim light, it gave a hazy feeling like a dream.
But no one relaxed their vigilance because of this. Everyone knew that what was on the ground was just an appetizer, and what was below was the real meal of the Four Pillar Gods. Moreover, they came in, and they no longer expected to be able to sneak attack on the Mercury Trojan. It would be good if they were not attacked by surprise.
.
"We are still in the front hall of the Silent Spiral. There are about eighteen layers of spirals in the front hall. Anyone can enter the front hall without any restrictions." Chikara reminded again: "But if you want to step out of the front hall and enter silence,
The first level of the spiral is to use Dafa to open a 'new world' - also called a 'trial'."
"Each level of trial is opened, and a Dafa is required. For example, in the heyday of the Tribulation Fire Temple, there were five Dafa, which can open up to the fifth level of the Silent Spiral. Of course, the Tribulation Fire Temple will not send all the Dafa to open the Tribulation Fire Trial.
Refining - Because there is no need, the trials on the first level and the fifth level are the same."
"If the Four Pillar Cult has opened many layers of trials here..." Chikara looked a little weird: "I suspect that we will be stopped by the trials before we meet the mercury Trojan."
"What exactly is the trial of the Silent Spiral?" Igura asked.
"The trials initiated by different Dafa are not the same. I only know about the Tribulation Fire Trial. Not only can my experience not be used as a reference, but it may affect your judgment." Chikara said helplessly.
Another insider, Gwen, also nodded, saying that Chikara was right.
The orc pretended to be relaxed and said: "But this also has an advantage. Maybe Mr. Tamashi has been stopped by the trial, and we can find him without any effort."
"arrive."
A huge fog door stood at the end of the spiral passage. There was a looming blood-red flame pattern in the fog door. It was obvious that they had reached the end of the front hall.
Seeing this scene, Chikara lost control of her emotions: "How is that possible..."
Everyone looked at the orc in surprise. The latter took a deep breath and said slowly: "This is the mark of the Tribulation Fire Temple. The blood-red flame means that this is the trial initiated by the Tribulation Fire Killing Technique."
Igulla suddenly asked: "What is your full name?"
"Chikara kills the fire." Chikara replied expressionlessly.
At this time, Ash suddenly walked towards the wall next to him. Everyone looked over and found a mark on the stone slab of the wall. But it was not pointing to the fog door in front, but to the back where Ash and the others came from.
Ash stretched out his finger and put it into the marked groove, and found that it was just right. As his fingertips slid, he scraped off the debris in the groove.
"You can write on the slate with your fingers, and it was written recently..." Ya Xiu affirmed: "This is what Tamashi left."
"He has some brains and conscience." Igula glanced at the mark pointing backwards, "He actually guessed that you would come to save him and left a warning specifically."
"He guessed that we were coming to rescue him." Ash pointed at the marks on the stone slab and said, "There are five warning marks on it that can only be seen if you get close.
——It seems that Alice is also included."
"Aha." Harvey said, "There is one more reason to save him."
"That's right." Igula sneered: "Since he guessed that you would come, he naturally thought that we would not be absent."
"Can't it be that he really thinks that the psychiatrist Igura, who talks to him about everything, will come to save him?" Ashus smiled and said, "Okay, I'll rely on you now, Chikara."
Chikara was silent for a moment and said seriously: "I probably still remember the process. You will follow me later. If you see me doing anything, just do it. Don't act rashly."
After adjusting the queue slightly, Chikara took the lead in passing through the back door, followed closely by the others.
The next second, soft sunlight squeezed into the slits of their eyes.
The warm sunshine crosses the blue sky and white clouds, passes through the huge glass dome, and gently shines on everyone.
They were walking on a busy avenue, surrounded by flowers on both sides, tall buildings in the distance, children playing on the lawn in the distance, lovers chatting on the benches, and a mother pushing a stroller walking past them.
Pass.
Ash almost thought he had traveled back to the gospel kingdom.
But if you look closely, you will find huge differences here: on the flowers, there are many magic spirits like bees taking care of the flowers; children are playing with the magic spirits, and even reading picture books with the magic spirits; couples are talking about love.
At that moment, two magic spirits were confronting each other behind them, as if they wanted to fight; the person pushing the stroller was not the mother, but a magic spirit, and the baby in the car was sleeping with a little magic spirit.
Almost everyone has a magic spirit around him, either in the form of a human, an animal, an insect, or one, two or even three wings. Some people even have multiple magic spirits.
They get along and chat with the magic spirits very naturally. When they are happy, the magic spirits are also happy; when they are decadent, the magic spirits also become decadent.
On this road, magicians like Ash are like country people without magic spirits.
"Welcome to the trial of fire." Chikara's tone revealed a hint of nostalgia: "It's a wonderful place, isn't it?"
"The so-called trial is actually an illusion created by Dafa?" Igula suddenly realized.
"This is not an illusion." Chikara shook his head: "This is the world after we realize our ideals, and it is the future that Dafa depicts with all his imagination.
Everyone gradually understood the situation: no wonder every layer of the Silent Spiral must be constructed by Dafa, no wonder every layer of the Silent Spiral is called the New World!
Because every new world is the future in Dafa’s imagination!
This is the utopia they want to build!
It is their expectation and desire for the Senluo Wasteland!
"What we in the Tribulation Fire Temple yearn for is the glory of the Fire Cat God Age, and the key word of the Fire Cat God Age is the ideal of the Fire Cat Dafa: allowing ordinary people to control magic spirits. We don't know the true situation of the Fire Cat God Age.
We can only imagine the past—or the future—that we yearn for from the few words spoken in the ruins.”
Chikara said as he walked: "So the Tribulation Fire Temple believes that everyone should have a companion magic spirit that will never be separated until death."
At this time, a magic spirit suddenly appeared next to Ya Xiu and others. This magic spirit looked very similar to themselves, as if they were another version of themselves.
“The accompanying magic spirit will accompany us as we grow.”
After walking for a while, the scene suddenly changed and they appeared on the slide. The orcs slid down the slide very naturally, and everyone followed suit.
"Accompany us to learn."
They suddenly appeared in the classroom. There were five desks next to them. There were test papers on the desks. The orc took the lead to sit down and answer the questions. Ash and the others didn't see clearly what was written on the test papers, but the accompanying magic spirit would guide them in answering the questions.
"Accompanying us to meet friends, travel, participate in activities, encounter emotional problems, and get admitted to higher education institutions. With the constant changes of scenes and Chikara's guidance, Ash and the others seem to have experienced the growth process of the Fire Robbers. The Fire Robbers have been growing up since they were young.
I grew up with Shu Ling, and although I occasionally get angry with Shu Ling, most of the time we go through the ups and downs of life together. We are never lonely, always high-spirited, and full of hope for the future.
The accompanying magic spirit is their friend in life, their helper in learning, and their weapon in battle.
"When we grow up, the accompanying magic spirit will continue to accompany us -" Chikara said: "Pursue the highest truth."
Suddenly, the scene changed into a dark underground research institute.
A researcher in a white coat said to them: "The research on 'stealing the magic power of the virtual realm' has reached a bottleneck. Should we continue to use fish-killing dragons for experiments, or use humans for experiments?"
At the same time, several huge petri dishes appeared on both sides of the research institute, with the Ichthyosaurus on the left and humans on the right. Chikara commanded the accompanying magic spirit to select the human petri dish without hesitation, causing the people inside to fall into hysteria.
The pain until death!
"Snapshot done!" Igula said: "Everything is an illusion!"
However, this was just the beginning. The following experiments gradually exceeded the limits of Ya Xiu and others' imagination: preventing death, but letting him watch his body rot and see if he could summon new magic spirits; transferring people's consciousness at the moment of eating food.
Go to the food, wait until you finish eating, and then transfer it back to see if you can activate the gluttony faction; move people...
They had a choice in every experiment, but before each experiment they were told that animal experiments had reached the limit, so Chikara chose human experiments without exception.
Finally, they seemed to have come to the last experiment. The white coat said: "The research on 'suicide can break through the limits of magic' has reached a bottleneck. Next, should we continue to use the Ichthyosaurus for experiments, or use humans for experiments?"
Although he said that, there was no other living person to choose from here. However, when Chikara had the accompanying magic spirit pointed at his throat, everyone realized that the experimental material was actually me.
Poof!
The accompanying magic spirit howled and slit Chikara's throat, and the orc slowly fell to the ground. Igula looked at this scene coldly, and without hesitation let the accompanying magic spirit slit his own throat too!
"Follow it." Igula covered his throat and looked at them: "You must use the companion magic spirit." After saying that, he also fell down.
Ash, Harvey, and Gwen didn't hesitate much, and they all cut their own throats, and their consciousness fell into darkness.
When they woke up, they found themselves in front of the fog door again. Inside the fog door, there was still a faint flame pattern.
"Are we going back to the starting point?" Ash asked in surprise as he stood up.
"No, we have already passed the first level of the Silent Spiral." Igula said: "This is the fog door on the second level. Look carefully."
Ash took a closer look and found that the flame pattern was blue, not blood red. He turned his head and found that the passage behind was also filled with fog, and they seemed to be caught in the gap of the fog.
"Generally speaking, you need to conduct the Tribulation Fire Trial ten times to be considered qualified, and every time it is repeated, the difficulty will increase in vain." Chikara said:
"But the more times you pass the Tribulation Fire Trial, the higher the resonance rate with the Tribulation Fire Dafa. If you want to become a god-giver, you must undergo multiple trials."
"Why do we need to conduct so many inhumane experiments after the trial?" Ya Xiu was very surprised: "The Tribulation Fire Dafa actually yearns for this kind of future?"
"To be precise, this is the future that Sha Jie Huo Dafa longs for."
Chikara explained: "And you seem to have misunderstood. The Tribulation Fire Temple does not yearn for the prosperity of the Fire Cat God Age, but yearns for the atmosphere of the Fire Cat God Age."
"Ambience?"
"Yes, that atmosphere of daring to challenge the impossible."
Chikara said: "Forever young, always passionate, always chasing impossible dreams, and exploring the greatest truth. The Tribulation Fire Temple just wants to return to such an era - although it is most likely a fictitious past."
"But the five masters of Jiehuo have slightly different opinions on how to pursue it. The pursuit of Jiehuo Dafa is by any means necessary. If human experimentation is the most cost-effective option, then conduct human experiments."
"In fact, the Killing Fire Diocese is also the place where most human experiments are done." The orc shrugged: "But human experimentation is just an appearance. All trials constructed by the Tribulation Fire only need to adhere to one principle to be safe."
Ash asked: "What principle?"
"Truth is supreme." Chikara said: "No matter how it tests you, as long as you choose the path closest to the truth, it must be correct.
Harvey suddenly asked: "What will happen if we make the wrong choice?"
"I don't know about other new worlds, but in the Tribulation Fire Trial, if you make the wrong choice, you will be cursed by the Tribulation Fire until you are burned to death."
Harvey asked: "Can the calamity fire burn through the sanctuary?"
Everyone was startled.
Chikara blinked and said hesitantly: "Generally speaking, only two-wing magicians will participate in the Tribulation Fire Trial."
Harvey turned around and went back into the mist, but he came back very quickly, and his clothes were a little burnt: "Although the calamity fire is a bit troublesome, the Sanctuary can resist it."
Chikara almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
He actually wanted to scare them away through the Fire Tribulation Trial. After all, the Fire Tribulation Trial was so easy with him leading the team. The other trials that followed would not be so easy. But he forgot that out of the five living people here, four
All of them are sacred magicians who can be called tactical weapons!
What kind of trial is it? Just support the sanctuary to keep it up!
Although depressed, Chikara still reminded: "Each trial has a main theme. For example, the main theme of the Tribulation Fire Trial is truth is supreme. As long as you follow the main theme, you will not encounter a curse. In order to save mana, if we can follow
It’s better to follow the main theme as much as possible.”
Everyone nodded, but Ash was a little strange: "How did that guy Tamashi survive the Tribulation Fire Trial?"
To be honest, the Tribulation Fire Trial does not pose much of a threat to them. After all, they are all death row prisoners with extremely flexible moral bottom lines. If it's a big deal, they can act, but if they can't act, they can flip the table. But a guy like Black Crow has a hard-core outlook on things. , and without the protection of the sanctuary, how did he get through?
"Have you forgotten that he is an abomination to the virtual realm? It's hard to say whether these trials will be of any use to him." Igura said, "Then what happens next."
"The blue flame is a trial constructed by the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique." Chikara was a little confused: "Wait a minute, the Killing Tribulation Fire Technique, the Dust Tribulation Fire Technique,
I remember these Dafa were not there."
Although the orc immediately shut his mouth, the person who should have reacted had already reacted.
"Let's go." Ash said calmly: "We are here to save Tamashi."
